Osteria dal Cantunè In Pezzana

During our Iveco 50th anniversary visit to the Marazzato Foundation, located a half-hour drive away, we decided to stop for dinner, first because we'd already spotted it in the morning due to the ample parking, and second because it was on the Foundation's list of recommended places. An old roadhouse, modernized with a gray paint job, which I don't think does it justice (I would have preferred it to keep its original colors), houses a restaurant on the ground floor and this osteria on the first floor. There's an elevator, but you have to request use of it from the owners, so two flights of stairs lead to the osteria. The tables are set with fabric tablecloths, a rare find these days, but one I greatly appreciated. The menu is based on Piedmontese and Vercelli dishes. Carefully presented, well-portioned, balanced flavors. The risottos are freshly cooked, with an open kitchen. The gorgonzola risotto with hazelnuts and onions was very balanced and delicate, even if there had been a pot to clean... The fillet on creamed potatoes, etc., medium rare, was incredibly tender and buttery. I recommend booking because it's misleading to be in the middle of nowhere, but on a Saturday night the place is packed.

Excellent food and friendly service. It's always a pleasure to return.

I really liked the family-run trattoria atmosphere; it felt like you were at a friend's tavern, even though it's obviously not a tavern, but I don't know, maybe I was expecting something more due to the hype surrounding the place, the name, etc. The staff and service were fantastic; it was pleasant to chat, the dishes were simple but well-prepared. Definitely a restaurant to keep in mind if you're passing through the area! The price was absolutely right for the quality and quantity; in fact, it's one of the few times you leave feeling happy with your money!

Good food, perfectly plated. The only flaw...the appetizer lacked character...and the Panissa Vercellese was a little too intense...certainly a reinterpretation. Overall, a good lunch. Prices were a bit high for an "osteria," even though they were effectively plated like a restaurant.

A no-frills restaurant serving traditional dishes from the Vercelli countryside. Worthy of note are the frogs, fried bull pxxxe, and other delicacies for adult gourmets only. It's a shame I didn't get to try the panissa; I know: making just one risotto isn't easy or cheap, but I'd be willing to pay a premium for a single portion to try a good risotto, especially when traveling between Monferrato and Vercelli!

Good food, fast service and friendly staff, simple and clean place with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside....we have already been here several times and will definitely be back.

I go back every now and then, always pleasant and good food!

A guarantee. A family dinner in a young, relaxed, and friendly atmosphere. The panissa and Fassona tartare are excellent. It's located on the first floor.

Fast and friendly, good place for a business lunch.

Great to stop for lunch, you eat well and spend the right amount👍👍
